Showing results for "Gnosticism" in Mysticism

Definitively read by author Richard Smoley, this audio version of Inner Christianity brings a clear understanding to the listener of the complex universe of esoteric knowledge. Topics include esoteric orders past and present, inner traditions, Sophia and Mary, and Gnosticism, as well as well as the mystical body of Christ.

The success of books such as Elaine Pagels's Gnostic Gospels and Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code proves beyond a doubt that there is a tremendous thirst today for finding the hidden truths of Christianity - truths that may have been lost or buried by institutional religion over the last two millennia. In Forbidden Faith, Richard Smoley narrates a popular history of one such truth, the ancient esoteric religion of gnosticism, which flourished between the first and fourth centuries AD, but whose legacy remains even today, having survived secretly throughout the ages. 

Dr. Elias Rubenstein enthüllt die ursprünglichen spirituellen Lehren des Christentums und zeigt ihre Verbindungen zu gnostischen Traditionen, antiken Weisheitsschulen und den Geheimnissen der Mysterienkulte. Dieses Buch untersucht einzigartig, welche Aussagen tatsächlich authentisch sind. Denn nur wenige Christen kennen die historischen Hintergründe des Neuen Testaments und vertrauen diesen Schriften blind, ohne deren Ursprung oder Widersprüche kritisch zu hinterfragen.

New discoveries in archaeology and recent bestsellers and movies such as The Da Vinci Code and The Passion of the Christ have sparked a renaissance of the many controversies that have remained unanswered in Christianity and other religions. At the heart of these controversies is Jesus. With a unique perspective only Sylvia Browne could bring, The Mystical Life of Jesus is filled with the details of Jesus' inspiring life.
